Full Moon In Scorpio

Full Flower Moon

Buddha Purnima/Vesak

For many, this may be a sigh of relief as Western ideology forecasts that Mercury retrograde is behind us. However, according to VPAT (Vedic Philosophical Ayurvedic Theories) Mercury is one of the slowest short term planets. Therefore, equal time must be allocated for moving into the earth’s orbit, as well as for it to move out. But it is so close to completely leaving that perhaps the only people feeling this may be mutable signs (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius) and Fire signs (Leo, Aries and Sagittarius), including those that share Mercury traits.

Gazing at the sky it can be said that we are at the mid-point between spring equinox and summer solstice. This means that everyone must gear up and get plenty of rest. As the full moon in Scorpio ignites the fireworks of all the seeds planted in April, we are officially stepping into the “zone”. I will explain about the “zone” later in this blog.

The passionate and seductive full moon in Libra (Scorpio in Western) will turn the switch to the on position in the sky at approximately 5:42pm EST & 2:42pm PST, at 20 degrees of Taurus / Scorpio Axis depending upon the orb. As I was trying to analyze the algorithms it seemed that the closest we have come to this degree was in 2010, when the full moon in Scorpio/Libra was at 18 degrees, although not at the exact degree. However, those that are fortunate to be able to see this again in 2036 may be even more glorified than they will be for this one.

Zone: The intertwining between fabulous and powerful Taurus sun and Pluto will be the helping hand that we all need after a sluggish March and April. Arrival will be just in time for Mother’s Day, but I want everyone to remember this energy that you will feel. I am sure you recall that on the New moon last month I had stated to make a wish. This full moon is about the energy; it will give everyone the strength they need to make their goals real, or at least the energy to move forward. We will have something like this again on September 9, 2017. So remember what I said and write it down.

This full moon is not only giving energy, it is also an auspicious celebration in India, called Akshaya Tritiya. It is believed that any kind of business which will be started should begin on that day. It was written in history that God Ganesh (God of Wisdom and the son of Shiva) began scripting the works of “Mahabharatra”. While the scriptures were being written, all the Pandits (Priests) were sent into exile where they were each handed a bowl. That bowl was named Akshaya Tritiya; in literal terms, it means Eternal. The bowl never went empty and they never went hungry. This is a private celebration, only celebrated by Hindus and Jains. While not always celebrated throughout India, it is well known and followed.

One of my favorite spiritual days is Buddha Purnima, better known as Vesak. Including India, this is the most auspicious days as it is a celebration of the birth of Siddhartha Gautam, aka Buddha. It is also a day to rejoice illumination and loss, and the belief system of Buddhism. Buddha Purnima, based upon the Vedic calendar, celebrates that Buddha was born Purnima (full moon) and in the month of May. Therefore, it has always been celebrated in India and Nepal as the first full moon in May. Thus, this full moon brings with it grandeur, passion, spirituality, natural endings, and new beginnings; but it can be quite agitating for those who are not used to the energy.

All things convert richer and more penetrating under the light of the Full Moon – feelings and egos are magnified, and consciousness and concentration are on relationships. The energy of the light of the Moon can cause deep dreams. Love and Romance go uninhibited under a Full Moon, especially around midnight. Additionally, the brilliant light will reflect against the flowers that blossom during May, which is why this moon was given the name of “The flower moon”.

As Saturn is retrograding to the halfway mark in Scorpio/Sagittarius (VPAT), just hang on my Scorpio friends; it’s almost over, I promise. Like all Scorpios who love to dig and investigate, this moon triggers those senses; it forces one to get to the bottom of things and discover what is really going on. It’s time for psychic revelations, your psyche is triggered.

When the moon is in Scorpio, we develop supplementary, be they familiar, concealed, or enigmatic, stimuli and our psychic antennas may be activated. This is a time for functioning to uphold an emotional switch, and for working on overcoming inner pre-occupational thoughts or desires. There can be a need for distinguishing behaviors and responses that keep you locked in power struggles. This Full moon is most auspicious for the quest of your divine center and Higher Power to gradually release you from internal pessimism. Passionate Control is the emphasis.

The Moon in Scorpio marks a time of intensified passion and desire. People may be feeling more assertive and more demanding, as well as being motivated and resourceful. In general, emotions at both ends of the spectrum are heightened and likely to vary quite a bit throughout this influence. Connections on a deep level could be made with members of the opposite sex under the Moon in Scorpio. Represented by the Scorpion, Scorpio possesses a secretive and penetrative nature. Feelings of jealousy and revenge may arise, so special caution is needed to avoid confrontations. The Scorpio Full Moon can be a catalyst for power urges, which can often result in violence or even homicidal impulses.

Since moon in Scorpio represents Reckless, Willful, Volatile, Bold, and spirited, it is my suggestion for us to remain balanced. This full moon is extraordinary to many. It is my suggestion that you purchase a white candle and carve your name through to the wick. Anoint the candle with lavender oil and sandalwood oil, and chant the Psalm 39. You may also choose to recite a mantra every morning until the next moon cycle.

Remember that with all applications of psalms and mantras achieving the desired result is dependent upon the quality of intention. Also, when it comes to finding satisfying relationships, it is of the greatest importance to begin with a clear understanding of what your goal should be. The mantras can be hard to pronounce for many but are a powerful source of energy.

The two mantras associated with the Scorpio moon are:
Easy

“Om Aing Kleeng Sauh”

(Om An-ii-ii-nn kliii nnn gg Suuuua hh)

Difficult

Om Narayanaya Sursinmhaya Namah

This mantra is a call to the lord of peace for confiscation of any difficulties in your way. The intention of this mantra is to keep balance and from losing our temper through obscurity and blurred energy.

The information I am giving you below is not western astrology or Vedic astrology, rather Vedic philosophical inferences based upon mathematical anomalies. The Astrological names are placeholders as named signs in which difficulties may occur.

If you are looking for a Western Astrologer, you may seek counsel with my preferred astrologers Leslie or Lee . If you are looking for a Vedic Astrologer, the only ones I know and trust are not located in the states therefore I am able to give a referral at this time.

Many people will read about the Saturn transits through various resources and each article will encompass something unique. However, perhaps a unique prospective of this transit or even interesting concept is to consider the notion that there are many ways that planets are views and how the effects of these planets impact humanity. One the primogenital concept is through Vedic readings and astrology.

Vedic Astrology has been known to be one of the oldest forms of Astrology that has been practiced throughout the Eastern philosophies. Through these studies forms a unique practice of what is known as a Vedic Readers. However, to be able to understand what a Vedic Reader does, one has to understand the practice of Vedic Astrology in its formation, which is that every planet in the universe sits in every humans chart (very similar to Western Astrology). However, in Western Astrology the Earth gravitates around the sun whereas in Vedic it gravitates around the moon.

This push and pull becomes a behavioral instability in every human through pressures of the sun, the moon, or the planets in general. A Vedic reader focuses primarily on lessons being learned and adjustments which can bring positive results as well as extreme karmic forces. This type is often referred to as ground work for Saturn.

“The season of Scorpio is upon us, encouraging us to dig beneath the surface of all matters and discover what actually lies beneath those things we take for granted and live with in the world. These are the feelings and energy we will be living under for the next two and a half years, and nothing will be superficial during the period Saturn is in the most intense of signs.” Leslie Hale

On October 5, 2012, Saturn will enter Scorpio. Saturn is known as Shani in the Vedic scriptures. Like many deities in the Hindu philosophy, this deity also has its own reasons for being and reasons magnifying during certain periods. Shani is Devi (Deity, Avatar of God) and is prominent in many cultures and beliefs of Hinduism. Shani is a representation of the older deities as a son of Surya (the sun deity). With its complex history Shani has been known to protect humans from sinful acts and help remove obstacles. However, many Hindus fear this deity and its presence, yet it is also present in every human’s chart. The complex question arises when we ask how a deity enters a human’s chart.

“Saturn makes its grand entrance into the sign that rules the eighth house of death, transformation, taxes and sex on October 5, for the first time in 30 years.” Leslie Hale

It has been written that every Avatar enters a human’s chart through reincarnation of the sins in heaven, for every human is an image of God himself and every sin in heaven will be felt by the humans on earth. Since every human has Saturn (Shani) in their charts just like Pisces (Gods birth chart in their chart or the creator himself) anyone who has been under the influence of Shani will be at a risk of bad luck or difficult lessons.

Shani has been known to be the greatest teacher of all. He wishes well for those that are humble and take the righteous path and punish those that are focused on greed and vengeance. When Shani (Saturn) transits through one’s chart it takes a pass for about 2.5 years in total of 7 years when it reaches every astrological sign. During a Shani (Saturn) period one could feel depressed, disappointed, alone, become agitated. Or sometimes it can have a complete opposite affect where life is a pleasure. This all depends upon the placement of Shani (Saturn) in ones chart.

Shani only prefers something or someone that is solid. Anything that is altering or changing will not be allowed and Shani becomes angry. Therefore it is advised not to start any project during the time Shani is orbiting your chart. Always keep in mind Shani is not meant to cause harm but to bring harmony to your own Karma. Once he leaves then he has taught us great lessons of our past sins which we knowingly committed and showers us with gifts at the door step for enduring his wrath.

“Saturn last transited this sign November 30, 1982-November 18, 1985. Prior to this it was October of 1953-October of 1956. Anyone born during these periods will experience their first or second Saturn return during the next two and a half year cycle. Queen Elizabeth of England, God willing, and all others her age will experience their third Saturn return. This period always proves a pivotal point, as one prepares to make way for their next life phase, as the planet structure and limitation returns to its original place in our natal chart every 29.9 years. ” Leslie Hale

Shani has been orbiting Tula (Libra’s) for the past 2.5 years and up to 7 years and now moving into Scorpio (Vrischika). The rashi (Hindu Astrological name for a moon sign) Vrischika (Scorpio) will begin its path on the very structure of the rashi which is regarded in the Vedic philosophies as the head or the beginning of formation of one’s life. For most Scorpios this could begin as early as October 5 or as late as November 15, 2012, depending on the severity of natives (persons) chart according to Western Astrology.

Shani in Vrishika (Scorpio) refers to things unexpected and anything that has been hidden from ones self or eyes of another will go wrong. A good example of this could be while driving something unexpected falls on your windshield which blurs your vision and there is nothing that can be done. Be careful on 8, 17 and 26 of any month. Also be extra careful during the spring. Be careful with any sexual or personal diseases. There are tendencies to loose things that are precious (as things that mean luck to you), there could be knee problems, reproductive issues, fractures and serious health or blood problems.

However, according to Vedic Astrology Shani period entered Libra on August 04, 2012 and will continue until November 2014 at which time it will enter Scorpio. This is because Vedic Astrology focuses around the moon rather than the sun as practiced in Western Astrology. It’s almost like imagining what sign you would be if one was born on the cusp. For example if a person is born on October 24, this would be considered late Libra whereas in the western astrology it is a Scorpio. In these case it is my suggestion to find out from a western astrologer what is your moon sign they will be able to tell you.

The beginning of Shani period is always the most difficult. If it transits in your moon or sun sign it could be that one will have health problems, often it is a period of things unexpected or hidden. It could result from financial losses because of legal issues, or that work will be too much to bear, or that no matter how hard one tries to make things work in their career, frustrations are overwhelming. Shani also brings out enemies that you never knew you had. Risky business will NOT work during this period; especially lies or deception or even hiding the truth just a little bit. But shani does not stop at only finances. Finances are the foundation of one’s life; as well as family or even any kind of relationships such as business, friendship or even love. Tensions could arise at work with co-workers, financial problems could arise unexpectedly, and risky business will fall by the way side. However, remember the gifts of Shani.

“As Saturn moves through Scorpio it will take on the characteristics attributed to that sign. Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto. Mars is an aggressive planet, considered the God of War, and the energy it evokes is anything but passive. Scorpio energy is regenerative, not fond of compromise, emotional, determined, charismatic controlling and often takes on a ‘do or die’type of approach. The highest and best use of this energy is to heal or to transform. Scorpio energy can sink to the depths of depravity or soar to the highest of spiritual realms. It is a powerful sign.” Leslie Hale

Once this period is over, as are the lessons of shani, anything that forced hard work and extra patience, even to the point of biting your tongue, will fall into place. But, to find out how intense or how long this period will last it is my recommendation that one talks to my preferred astrologer, Leslie Hale.

The best ways to reduce the intensity of Shani wrath and or the effects of Shani is to recite a Mantra 108 times daily which is

Om Sham Shanaischaryaye Namaha

(Om Sham Shana ischa ryaye Nam a ha)

In addition those who practice the Hindu religion it is recommended that there is fasting on Saturdays (which represents the day of Shani) and do a Pooja to Hanuman every Saturday until this period ends.

However, those that will be affected during this Shani period will not just be Scorpio but all those who have Scorpio somewhere in their chart will be affected.

Remember a Vedic reader gives you notice of all your Saturn’s (important lessons) and provides solutions which brings a gateway to sublime resolutions. It is up to you if you want to change the situation to your advantage or live behind rose colored glasses.

Wishing you well through this transformation please remember if you are a fixed sign (Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus) you could very well feel these affects. Additionally, if you are a Libra your journey is over but not complete until next year in accordance to Vedic Philosophies.
